NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IT

I'm 44 and tired of my general lack of fitness. I now see that the only thing stopping me is me. My thoughts are all that is in the way of a healthy lifestyle. And my thoughts are my biggest challenge.

Welcome back!! I noticed on your post that you have recently joined Celebrate Recovery. May I recommend a great book that might help you with your attitude about food in relation to what God wants for us. It is called Made to Crave by Lysa Terkeurst. We are studying it in another group that I belong to, and I recommend checking it out. It may be of interest to you. I wish you great success with all of your goals. Take care and God bless, emoticon emoticon Deb T.

Thanks WesMarsh, I appreciate the support. It's good to know when you have support from people who have gone through similar struggles. So far, I'm doing well due to achieving my daily goals of diet, exercise, and responsibilities since starting last monday. Some days are a struggle, but I vowed to not let myself lose again and I will definitely achieve my goals this time around.

Congrats on taking the next step to reaching a healthier you by getting active with SparkPeople - it's a great community, wonderful resources and fantastic support.

Please check out the SparkTeams - I think you will find a lot of others 'just like you' there. You can choose SparkTeams by age group, lifestyle or interests, geographic location or several other ways - some of the teams you might like include the Official 10-minute Daily Exercise Streak Challenge, Starting Over Weekly Mini-Challenge Team, 10k Steps A Day and Motivation & Positive Attitude Plan but there are so many to choose from, you can have a great time looking for the ones that seem to fit you best! In fact, I suggest joining more than one group, post your intro there and write blogs as often as you can - you will find tons of friends and support that way, I promise!!

In my experience, SparkPeople is like a emoticon in some ways - it's lots of fun and easy to make friends because we're all in this together. I like the way a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE is emphasized instead of a 'quick fix wonder diet' so it's good for people wanting to lose weight, maintain a previous loss, get healthier, improve fitness and many other goals - it's about waaaaaay more than 'just' losing weight so you have definitely come to the right place!

If you ever need any help using features of the site, there are tutorial videos under the HELP section that can show you how to use the features of the site. You can also find them on the START page and several other places on the site.

If you haven't already discovered The Spark book and/or the SparkDiet linked at the bottom of the START page, check them out - the program is simple but extremely effective. There is a TON of information on this site - so much it might even seem overwhelming but fortunately we don't have to 'digest' everything at once! The FastBreak program is a good way to start.

emoticon

Another nice thing about SparkPeople is that we have permission to be human - we don't have to change everything at once or be in a hurry to reach our goals. Take a few baby steps and then a few more and before you know it, you'll have completed a long journey - I hope you enjoy this community as much as I do - it teaches us how to make positive lifetime changes because that's the only thing that will work over time!
